White House Press Secretary, Keyleigh McEnany, has tested positive for covid 19.

She has become the latest Trump staff member to be confirmed with the virus, as US President Trump and his wife Melania continue their treatment for COVID-19.

"After testing negative consistently, including every day since Thursday, I tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday morning while experiencing no symptoms," she wrote.

"No reporters, producers, or members of the press are listed as close contacts by the White House Medical Unit. Moreover, I definitively had no knowledge of Hope Hicks' diagnosis prior to holding a White House press briefing on Thursday," she added.

She says she has no symptoms and will work from home while in quarantine.
